Description

Cuyahoga Falls, OH- W.A. Hanford payable at Summit County
Bank 5¢; 10¢; 25¢ Oct. 1862
These colorful notes with appealing vignettes were store scrip for
a mercantile concern managed by W.A. Hanford. Research by Wendell
Wolka that appeared in Paper Money indicates that this
merchant's name was Hanford, not Stanford as many had previously
thought. This bank became the First National Bank of Cuyahoga
Falls, charter number 378. The notes range from Choice Crisp
Uncirculated to Gem Crisp Uncirculated. The ink is light
on the green 10¢ piece.
